    Botia striata

    My Zebra's and Yoyo's get on together very well. Most of the time they do their own thing with the occasional very minor skirmish over food or sleeping spots and occasionally they all shoal up together. They have been togther for a couple of months without any problems.

    Botia striata

    We have 5 Striata's and more often than not they are out and about, they do have there rest times when they hide away but in the main they are very active. We have a sand base with a good cover of black pebbles and subdued lighting plenty of bogwood and fairly heavily planted 4 foot (100 galls...

    Cheap property

    I've had the pleasure of working in Detroit a couple of times and you would not want to own a property in the ghetto areas no matter how cheap, very scary place :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: loads of burnt out cars, derelict buildings, looks like a war zone. Last time I was there, there was...

    Distressed cardinal tetras - could it be allelopathy?

    Agreed. But. if the light levels are higher in the tank than in the room then surely you are going to get a mirror like effect within the tank. Certainly in the evenings my tank is the brightest thing in the room (yes it's probably a lot brighter than me :lol: ) so I would have thought the...

    Distressed cardinal tetras - could it be allelopathy?

    I would have said that they are just sparring with their own reflections. Some of my fish do it on occasions and I have never considered that there was any problems.

    Welcome :) Tell us about yourself

    Hi All I'm Andy and I live in Wiltshire during the week and South Wales at the weekends. I have just got back into fishkeeping after a 20 year break. I used to keep big south american cichlids but this time round it's more of a community type tank (4 X 2 X 2 footer) but biased toward loaches...

    Timid Rummynoses

    Lol. sorry didn't mean to rub it in about my fish. :oops: Just amazed at how different our Rummies are to those described in this thread. We do have a black back ground and black substrate with loads of bogwood, roots and plants, so plenty of structure for them to feel safe amongst and sublte...

    Timid Rummynoses

    Hmmmm. We have 9 Rummies and from day one they have always been on show, back and forth across the tank non stop, super active fish, we also have 5 neons and 8 x-ray tetras and they have joined the Rummy shoal so it's always a blur of fishy activity. Feeding time is easy as we tap the side of...
